Mandatory Dimensions in GL accounts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello everyone!

I'm working with dimensions in the chart of accounts. I have setup some dimensions as mandatory with a default code. But when I try to register invoices (among other documents), these fields appear in blank, and the transaction requires dimension, but the value does not appear. So I have to enter the dimension value manually.

How can I set the system up so this does not happen any more?

Thank you!

    Where do you setup the default dimension code ?

    If you setup on GL account, it will appear only when you select that GL account on invoice line.

    If you setup on Customer / Vendor, it will appear when you select that customer or vendor.

    If you setup on Item, it will appear when you select that Item on invoice line.

    Hello Teddy, thank you for answering!

    I setup the dimensions as mandatory for some GL accounts. If I'm working with item lines, and the accounts previously setup are involved (because of the posting group setup), BC requires dimensions in a mandatory level for the accounts. Only that the default values don't appear.

    Do you know how I can change this? thank you!!

    If you are working with Item lines, you need to setup default dimension in the Item, not in GL.

    The GL default dimension code will appear only when you select GL account on invoice line. (not item)
